+ith a D%) it is possi$le to change from single loop control of a process varia$le to
cascade, ratio, feedforward, adaptive, or multi!varia$le control $y 11111111111 if
all of the peripheral hardware is installed in the field and connected to the D%)
terminal $oard.
'. relocating the transmitters an! AC,
(. reconfiguring the loop
%. installing a UPS an! inverter
D. installing another CPU
%%)T answer
In that all the peripherals an! har!ware are present an! in or!er' the tas( of changing
control strategies an! algorithms an! how the gathere! !ata from the process un!ergoes
manipulation by the !istribute! control system.
In ratio control' the DCS maintains a pre!etermine! ratio between two variables. In
casca!e control' one controller output is the input for another controller. Aee!forwar!
input comes from some possible !isturbance that then converts to corrective action to the
process. Aee!forwar! ta(es place outsi!e the fee!bac( loop. !aptive an! multivariable
control strategies also leverage numbers per their own !ispositions.
+hese control strategies use process !ata' process numbers' an! manipulate those inputs
mathematically. How that !ata parses !epen!s on the configuration of the loop. +he DCS
!oesnBt care6 it can !o the arithmetic for all these control strategies.
+he best answer is (.
